Seducing The Wolf - By Marisa Chenery Page 0,7

straight to the point. I find you attractive and I'd like to pursue that. I know it's not all one-sided either judging by the way you kissed me last night. So what do you say about us getting to know each other better and see how it goes from there?"

"Last night was a momentary weakness on my part. I think it would be better to leave matters the way they are right now." His eyes fell to the grey t-shirt Billie wore. It had York Fitness stenciled in black across the chest. "Isn't your last name York?"

Billie looked down at her shirt then back up at him. "You remembered. See? You are interested. York Fitness is the gym my Dad owns. I work there as do my brothers."

"I thought you only had one brother."

"No. I have four older brothers."

Royce let out a low whistle. "That must be fun for you having four brothers watching over you. What do you do at the gym? Do you work in the office?"

"God, no," Billie said with a laugh. "When I first showed signs of wanting to work at the gym my Dad started me off in the office. Let's just say math is not my strong suit, and my phone etiquette sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. I tend to say whatever is on my mind. I'm a personal trainer and I teach a few self-defense classes."

That explained how Billie had easily subdued her brother the night before even though Hayes was almost twice her size. Now that she had mentioned it, Royce could see Billie had a muscular build. Her shoulders were broad and there was noticeable muscle tone showing on her arms. Royce wondered what her legs looked like under the black yoga pants she wore. He bet they were just as well toned. He couldn't help picturing how it would feel to have her legs wrapped around his waist as he drove into her body. Realizing where his thoughts were taking him, Royce groaned and closed his eyes. He tried to bring his body back under control.

"Are you okay, Royce?"

He opened his eyes to find Billie staring at him with a look of concern on her face. Fighting the mating urge was turning out to be a losing battle with her being in the same room. He had to get away from her, but he couldn't say the words that would make her leave. All he could do was look back at her with the longing he felt. Against his will, he let his gaze drift lower. At her chest, he watched it rise and fall with each breath Billie took. His fingers itched to reach across the table and cup her surprisingly full breasts in each of his hands. The wolf, too long denied, roared at him to do it. He dragged his eyes back up to Billie's face and found her lips slightly parted as she drew in one rapid breath after another. The scent of her rising desire wafted over him, more potent than the most expensive perfume. Royce clenched his jaw together until it ached, stopping the animalistic growl that rose up within him. Unable to look away, he fisted his hands on the table in front of him.
Chapter Three
The change that came over Royce happened in a matter of seconds. One minute he was all gruff, acting as if he couldn't get rid of her fast enough, and then the next he was staring at her with intense longing. In reaction, Billie felt her heart begin to beat a little faster. But when Royce lowered his eyes to her chest, her body started to go up in flames. Just that one look sent blood rushing to her core as her pussy ached to have him touching her there. His eyes caressed her breasts. It was so intense it felt almost as if he had physically touched them. As if he was cupping them in his large hands. Her breasts grew heavy and her nipples tightened into buds.

When Royce lifted his head and she saw the stark need in his hazel eyes, she held herself still, waiting for Royce to make the first move. There was no denying he wanted her. It was written on his face for all to see. But from the way he held himself so stiffly with his hands fisted on the table, Billie knew he was fighting the desire he felt for her. Why, she had no idea. All she
